Solar Energy-Based Wireless Charging System for Electric Vehicles

In the upcoming years, significant transportation sectors are anticipated to transition to complete electrification, highlighting the importance of creating more accessible and efficient solutions for charging electric vehicles (EVs). Wireless charging is becoming a highly convenient method, enabling electric vehicles to charge even during operation. Accurate power transfer during wireless charging relies on sophisticated mathematical models. These models need to take into account multiple elements, including coil parameters, coil shapes, the selected compensation topology, and the nature of the system, whether it is stationary or dynamic. This project offers an in-depth examination of wireless charging systems tailored for electric vehicles, emphasising prevalent charging topologies and architectures, while concentrating on the mathematical frameworks employed to determine the power transferred in relation to the vehicle’s position and speed on the road. With these models, one can achieve a more accurate prediction of an EV’s autonomy while navigating roads that feature wireless charging technology. This work provides valuable insights by comparing two distinct models, examining energy transmission methods, and investigating the role of renewable energy sources in facilitating the wider use of wireless charging for electric vehicles.
